САЖЕТАК /ABSTRACT:

In engineering education, hands-on experience is indispensable for connecting theoretical knowledge with practical applications. This paper discusses a didactic model of a beeswax foundation sheet-forming machine developed at the Faculty of Technical Sciences in Novi Sad. The model replicates the industrial process of forming beeswax foundation sheets, which are vital in modern beekeeping. This setup allows students to observe and interact with the machine’s operation, enhancing their understanding of control systems and manufacturing processes. The operational control system enables precise setting of sheet length and motor speed, simulating real-world production scenarios. Most components are visible and easily accessible, allowing students to closely examine and understand their interactions. This educational tool not only provides practical skills but also offers insights into industrial environments, preparing students for future engineering challenges by fostering a deeper understanding of complex systems and machinery. The didactic model incorporates both pneumatic and electrical equipment, demonstrating the operation principles of components widely used in industrial systems. By integrating various technologies into a cohesive system, it ensures that students receive a well-rounded education.
